Anyone who leaves
aside the Quran and follows something else will be a misleader and he
will not be obeyed by Muslims and his Hereafter will be with sinners and
You have created an impression that we cannot get the Holy Prophet’s
inheritance. Have you reverted to the age of ignorance? If your faith
were perfect you would have understood that no one’s order is above
Allah’s order. Do you not know this truth? Verily, those who know the
sun of midday do know that I am the Holy Prophet’s daughter. O Muslims? Despite being the daughter of the Prophet should I be deprived of my
right and live a life of dependence under your government? O son of Abu
Qahafa! You can own your father’s inheritance by the command of Quran
and I should be deprived of my father’s inheritance? Strange planning
indeed. Have you freed yourselves of the Command of the Holy Quran? Have
you turned away from Allah’s commands? The Holy Quran shows that Sulaiman inherited Dawood. The Quran, relating
the story of Yahya and Zakaria says: Zakaria said: O God! Grant me a son
so that he may be my inheritor and the inheritor of the progeny of
Yaqub. Not only this, this very Quran also says that the right of
inheritance should be given to the nearest blood relative. The Quran
also mentions that in inheritance sons get double the daughters’
inheritance. These are solid arguments on the
basis of which you people distribute your inheritance. Has Almighty
Allah granted some special rank in this matter and has He excluded my
honorable father from this right? Or do you imagine that you know more
than my father and my husband about the commands of Quran? This is an
📌innovation, which I must oppose. Remember that this field of Fadak is,
in fact, like a camel (loaded with materials), which you have taken in
your possession. But, beware, this camel will lead you in the field of
gathering on the Day of Judgment where the verdict will be of Almighty
Allah and then you would know the seriousness of your crime.”
Thereafter the dear daughter of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said to
those who had seen the Prophet with their own eyes and who were proud of
remembering him, “O youths of Islam! O protectors of Islam! O you who
are proud of Islam! What kind of coolness is this that you are silent
instead of assisting me? Did my dear father not say that respecting a
man includes protecting his daughters? How soon did you get up to
indulge in corruption in pursuance of worldly profits? You have the
ability to help me.
